Any chance of me buying this issue was defenstrated along with Cage’s dignity as soon I saw that foresaken tiara and yellow collar shirt marring what would have been an otherwise superberb cover! Why hasn’t that outfit been expunged from histroy yet, every comic book with its appearenced destroyed? Why, oh, why? All right. Enough hyperbole. DAREDEVIL: CAGE MATCH #1 seems interesting enough to at least warrent a flip though at the LCS. And at $3? I may just pick it up to fill the DD ongoings absence for that month. Why not?

Oh, hang on, sorry. I’ve just actually read the solicitation – this is Luke from the past. Okay, I get it now…

Re: the whole tiara shenanigans, does this mean we’re having a return to 70s style Power Man – certainly looks like it from the cover as Luke appears to be growing back his hair (and here I was thinking he had male pattern baldness…)

Weird though that Luke and Matt are having a ‘beef’ don’t you think? Perhaps Danny’ll step in and be all zen and get them to calm down.

That’s an awesome cover, don’t you think?

I think Luke would call it a headband…

Okay, so the tiara fans seem to be in the majority. I guess Luke Cage is just very secure in his sexuality.

Great of you to drop by again, Antony. I read what you posted on your site yesterday about a superhero book not being your “usual fare,” and I for one am happy to see someone with that kind of background tackling Daredevil since he’s so often been written as a fairly atypical superhero.

Anyway, good luck, have fun, and work that tiara!

I love the tiara. I didn’t specify it, but I’m glad it’s there

The tiara is IMPORTANT, you heathen! It’s a tragic oversight whenever a creative team doesn’t include it.

It’s good to see Antony getting a bit of recognition – he’s a great writer who has been putting the work in for a really long time, so it’s about time he has more work than he knows what to do with.
